Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
burn . . . in the smoke—or (so as to pass) "into smoke," that is, "entirely" [MAURER], (Psalms 37:20; Psalms 46:9). CALVIN, like English Version, explains, As soon as the flame catches, and the fire smokes, by the mere smoke I will burn her chariots.
cut off thy prey from the earth—Thou shalt no more carry off prey from the nations of the earth.
the voice of thy messengers . . . no more . . . heard—No more shall thy emissaries be heard throughout thy provinces conveying thy king's commands, and exacting tribute of subject nations.
